I mean, everyone walks into the gym on day one skinny or fat. Arnold Schwarzenegger walked into the gym skinny at 15 or 16, and I was that way, too.

I was single long enough, and when I was, it wasn't about putting notches in the bedpost.

I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.
